One congressman (who is also under an FBI investigation) proposed an amendment that would allow presidents who have not served two consecutive terms to run for a third; which takes care of the pesky Obama problem.

This seems like theater, though not without potential harm. An amendment tailored made to exempt only Trump from the 22nd amendment would be an odd one to see ratified by 75% of the states.

Absolutely agree. No way something like this would pass, but I have to almost commend the outside the box thinking when it comes to the Republicans trying to subvert the constitution.

Wouldn’t that need another change in 4 years time, if Trump manages to get two consecutive terms himself? (For argument sake, regardless of his age).
